That they take a course to master the "Queens English"?

Well OK. Maybe a bit harsh on the language thing.
What about making them get a sense of humour (Whoops, sorry. Humor)

No - let them speak their own language - it is not the same as English English but is similar in some respects and generally comprehensible.
We need to be aware of the English copying American English and unnecessarily changing the English language e.g. in BBC interviews. Possibly American films and other media have an impact.
Of course our language has been changing and taking over words and other features of many other languages for centuries - it is not static but sometimes I find myself irrationally irritated.

I'm betting Phillip Masters the Queen every night. With a whip and wearing a maids outfit.

In that language, isn't "Queen's" possessive - thereby requiring an apostrophe? I guess I really do need to learn more about it. But hey, you can come here and speak just the way you do - I enjoy the accent and the differences: 'lift' and 'bonnet.' ;)

I say close the borders to them, that way we wouldn't be bothered at all by them... also ban their terrible TV programs.

They could disguise themselves as chavs.
They're not very good at their own language either. Innit?
